The Clan Graham Society is an organization of the descendants of the families of the "Gallant Grahams" of old Scotland. Its membership is made up of those Grahams who know and who propagate the very distinguished accomplishments and honorable ideals of the Grahams, past and present. Because of the large number of Grahams in Scotland, their wide dispersion all along the Highland line was from Montrose on the North Sea to Loch Lomond (and further west) down past Glasgow through the Lowlands to Carlisle on the Border.

Membership in the Clan Graham Society is open to all people throughout North America and any country who can claim Graham ancestry. Click HERE to check for eligibility details. Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to download some of the membership and various forms and informational brochures.

The affairs of the Society are directed by the elected and appointed officers, six members-at-large, three Trustees and the Regional Commissioners who comprise the Council. They are elected at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Society. Click HERE for a list of current officers. This page also contains election information.
